Houston’s KHOU hurricane coverage available on DirecTV

Wow! Helpful and dramatic hurricane coverage by a Houston TV station is now being made available to DirecTV customers in San Antonio and across the nation.

KHOU, Houston’s CBS affiliate, can be accessed via Channel 361 and should be of great help to people with loved ones in Houston who want to keep up with the track of the storm.

I just took in some of the wall-to-wall coverage and was impressed by the amazingly sharp pictures — on land and in the sea – the many safety tips, the maps, the news updates, you name it. And all of it comes to viewers commercial-free.

You really get the sense of emergency — drama, dread, a feeling of community — through these Houston-based reports.
